Arneburg circle

The Arneburgische Kreis , also called Arneburgscher Kreis , was a Kurmärkischer Kreis in the then Altmark Province of the Mark Brandenburg . It comprised areas that are now part of the Stendal district in Saxony-Anhalt . From 1807 to 1813 the area belonged to the department of the Elbe of the Kingdom of Westphalia . The Arneburg District was dissolved after the Restoration in the district and provincial reform in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1816 and was divided between the new Osterburg and Stendal districts of the Prussian province of Saxony .

geography

The Arneburg district was in the northeastern part of the Altmark. It bordered in the north on the city of Werben and the Elbe, in the east on the Duchy of Magdeburg and the Elbe, which here essentially forms the border with the Duchy of Magdeburg. In the south, the district bordered on the city of Stendal and the Tangermünde district . In the west the Stendalische and the Seehausensche circle joined.

history

In the course of the 16th century, circles organized according to the landscapes or the so-called soft areas of the larger cities developed in the Mark Brandenburg . In the 17th century they were also called horse riders or land riders, which were headed by a district and war commissioner. The executing officer was the Landreiter , hence the name Beritte. In the districts, at least in the Mittelmark , their own administrative bodies (district directorate) and their own representative offices (corpus, pl. Corpora) developed over time. They also had their own finances or district coffers. From around the 18th century the office of district administrator emerged from the post of district and war commissioner. From this time on, the district administrator combined the self-government with the state administration.

Six circles had formed in the Altmark. But they did, at least in the 17th and 18th centuries. Century, in fiscal and rural terms only a circle, which only had a district directorate, a knightly corpus and a district treasury. The stands met at district meetings. District administrators were appointed for the districts. As a rule, the district estates had the right to propose, the candidate had to be confirmed by the king. In the Altmark around 1800, only the Stendal and Salzwedel districts had their own district administrators; only one district administrator was appointed for the Tangermündeschen and Arneburg districts and for the Arendsee and Seehausen districts. The latter two circles were only merged in 1735 (according to Heinrich, Historischer Atlas).

The tasks of the districts were carried out in the Altmark by the regional directorate. The provincial directorate of Altmark had a provincial director (rarely two provincial directors) and sent a deputy from among its ranks to represent the Altmark knighthood at the provincial parliaments of the Kurmark landscape. In addition, there was a dike captain, a war commissioner and Oberlandeinnehmer as well as land takers for the districts, with one land taker each responsible for the Tangermündesche and the Arneburg district and a land taker for the Arendsee and Seehausen district. Each district had a horseman.

From around 1775 the supervision of the dikes was transferred to the Elbdeichdirektorium of the Altmark, which was subordinate to the Royal Kurmärkischen War and Domain Chamber Deputation in Stendal. In addition, a first and a second dike captain have now been appointed.

The notation Arneburgischer Kreis follows the work of Friedrich Wilhelm August Bratring from 1804. In the older work by Büsching (1775) the circle is called Arneburgscher Kreis .

With the Peace of Tilsit in 1806, Prussia had to cede the Altmark and thus also the Arneburg District to the Kingdom of Westphalia . The Arneburg district was almost completely absorbed in the Stendal district of the Elbe department . In 1811 Leopold Christian Wilhelm Johann Graf von der Schulenburg-Bodendorf was sub-prefect of the Stendal district. Arneburg became the seat of the canton of Arneburg with its 14 communities. After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia at the end of 1813, the old district division was restored until 1816. In the great district and provincial reform in Prussia in 1816, the Arneburg district was dissolved and divided between the newly cut district of Stendal and the newly created district of Osterburg .
